How do you motivate people to stop smoking, or persuade the population to vaccinate against influenza?
The desire to improve public health and answer questions like these is driving the use of behavioural science to address traditionally challenging issues, such as the uptake of screening programmes, vaccinations, infection prevention and healthy eating.
This online event focused on the approaches that work, and how they can be scaled up, including real-life examples of how behavioural science can be used to motivate the public to change how they think about their health, lead healthier lifestyles and identify problems earlier.
Our panellists discussed how we can understand behaviour in its context, how we can identify the opportunities to elicit change, and how we can choose what to implement and measure change.
